ComingSoon.net caught up with “The Longest Yard” screenwriter Sheldon Turner, who also revealed the current status of his script for Magneto:

“Right now I’m writing ‘Magneto’, which is an off shoot of the X-Men franchise for Fox. Which is sort of following the path of a villain, the character played by Ian McKellen when he was a young man. It’s a prequel of sorts. I’m finishing that up.
